Need more proof that the NFL is a week-to-week league? Well, after tying the record for most points scored in Week 1 to kick off the season, scoring came all the way back down to earth in Week 2. The day was further dampened by injuries to Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels. Still, there were some big winners, across the league. Such as the Cincinnati Bengals, who rode their defense—yes, defense—to beat the Houston Texans. And how about the New Orleans Saints, who upset the Baltimore Ravens on the road. And then there's the Denver Broncos, who bounced back from an ugly Week 1 to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars. Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman recap Week 2 on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.
